Like: close walk to the metro, mall and bus stop and near to the CCIB convention centre. Hotel rooms were clean, had usb charger points Dislike: a bit far from the main attractions. Neighbourhood was very quiet, felt a little bit unsafe especially at night. Suggest to return before night falls. Toilet had a perpetual sewage smell
